Creating Extra Headings
Hi,
I have the following problem that took me hours yet unsolved. Please refer to the following format: Chapter 1 1.1 Sub-Heading title here 1.2 Sub-Heading title here Chapter 2 2.1 Sub-Heading title here 2.2 Sub-heading title here 2.3 Sub-heading title here The format above is fine, and word document handles it well. However, if I were to squeeze in an automated headings for "Definitions" for example, with the following format: Chapter 1 1.1 Sub-Heading title here Definition 1.1 Definition 1.2 1.2 Sub-Heading title here Definition 1.3 Chapter 2 2.1 Sub-Heading title here Definition 2.1 2.2 Sub-heading title here Definition 2.2 Definition 2.3 2.3 Sub-heading title here Definition 2.4 How do I create such "Definition" headings such that the first number tally with the Chapter number, and the second number with the number of definitions? Please help! Thanks! best regards, Alex |

Assuming that you are using the built-in heading styles for your
chapter numbering, you could define a caption: On the Insert menu, click Reference, and then click Caption. Click New Label. Type "Definition" and click OK. In the Caption dialog box, click the Numbering button. Click "Include chapter number" and, at "Chapter starts with style", select the Heading 1 style. Click OK. Now you are ready to use your captions. Note that captions won't update automatically, but you can press CTRL+A and then F9 to update them and other fields manually. Usually, switching to Print Preview and back also forces an update (it definitely does if you check the option to "Update fields" on the Print tab of ToolsOptions). Alternatively, if you are using custom styles for headings, you can edit the settings for the third numbering level so that it includes the numbering of the first level (but not the second) and also restarts based on the first level. For general information about how to edit outline numbering, see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "rdcrystal" wrote in message ...
